THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS
After launching our Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of Bunker Labs in November, we’re kicking off 2020 by introducing as many veteran and military spouse-owned businesses and startups as we can to the Dallas Entrepreneurship Ecosystem and showcasing as many Entrepreneurship Ecosystem resources to the military community as possible. You don’t want to miss this!
This event is part of Bunker Brews, a monthly meetup where the Bunker Labs community, including veterans, military spouses, and civilians, comes together to network with subject matter experts, investors, thought leaders, and more in an environment focused on growth and development.
This event is for you if…
1. You’re interested in meeting more like-minded, action-oriented entrepreneurs in a fun, casual setting.
2. You’re interested in getting involved in the local entrepreneur community.
3. You’d like to learn more about companies being created by veterans in our community

Come and join Shardus for their Q4 meetup event at the Capital Factory in Dallas, TX to see advancements in offloading data to the Shardus Archive Server, learn about growth in the Shardus ecosystem and hear from new partners building with Shardus.
